The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.

More quotes by Krishna Das
Whenever I'm really stuck, when I really need to go 'in there,' I sing the Chalisa and that connects me to Maharajji, to Hanuman, to that powerful presence that's deeper than any of that stuff. And, by touching that, I'm able to overcome whatever I'm stuck in...at least for 10 minutes.
Krishna Das
If you stub your toe, you don't need to dialog yourself to be good to your foot, do you? When you see things that clearly, there's no dialogue or emotional manipulation that you need to do to extend compassion to that being, because that being is a part of you, and if that being hurts, you hurt.
Krishna Das
You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna Das
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
We are so programmed to feel that our emotions are the most important thing in the Universe...We write, produce and act in the story of me. And then we write reviews - and read them and get more depressed. All we can do is let go, and that comes from training. And then we spend less and less time in the darker spaces.
Krishna Das
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
This is what I do to keep my head screwed on semi-straight and keep my heart open. Whenever I sing, that's why I sing. Whether it's at the Grammys, whether it's in the bathroom, whether it's in front of 10,000 people or three people, by my guru's grace, my head stays in that place.
Krishna Das
One of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.
Krishna Das
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
Krishna Das
When you meet your guru or a being who knows, who is no longer loving, but has become love, a being who is sitting in truth, and in compassion and kindness for all beings - you know. When I met my guru, I knew. And it was before I met him physically, actually.
Krishna Das
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
Krishna Das
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
Krishna Das
I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind.
Krishna Das
I'm reconnecting, I'm deepening, I'm opening, I'm releasing negativity and negative thoughts and all the limitations I carry around with me - again and again and again and again and again and again. And again! And that's the only thing that keeps me alive.
Krishna Das
When we start to talk about gurus, we're talking about beings who actually know what this is all about. They know who we were, where we came from, and where we're going. They are not imprisoned in a selfish or self-centered view of the universe.
Krishna Das
Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
Krishna Das
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
Krishna Das
The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.
Krishna Das
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
